The Mechanicsburg Women's Tourist Club will be hosting a book signing at the Mechanicsburg Public Library on Monday, April 26th at 2:00 p.m. The book to be highlighted will be Reading and Cooking with Children, which was co-authored by Judy Smith, a graduate of Mechanicsburg Schools and a former teacher in the district. After leaving Ohio to relocate in Illinois, Smith has worked as a classroom teacher, reading specialist, elementary principal, and Director of Curriculum and Instruction prior to her retirement.
Reading and Cooking with Children stresses the importance of early literacy and the family bonding experience that comes with cooking together. "Reading to children regularly can profoundly change the trajectory of their lives," Smith says. "And it is a life experience that everyone should have."
Reading and Cooking with Children highlights great books that all children should hear and provides tips for reading these amazing stories. The authors also include fun recipes that go along with each book. They also do a regular blog, A Teacher and an Oven, with books and recipes.
The author's presentation and book signing will be held on Monday, April 26th at 2:00 p.m. at the Mechanicsburg Public Library. Reading and Cooking with Children will be available for purchase. To make reservations, contact Rita Anderson at 937-206-1363.
